As we pause to remember the tragedy and fallen of 9/11, some inspired, tranquil sounds might be an ideal way to close out the day.

The most ideal show for such an occasion is a virtual summit of blissful serenity featuring Mountains, Date Palms and Plankton Wat — some of the finest on the Thrill Jockey record label.

The night’s headliners, Mountains, is a duo comprised of Brendon Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp. The two have been making some of the most transformative, epic instrumental music in recent years.

From Brooklyn, their music tends to resemble slow-building meditations, marked by subtle changes in texture and melodic lines. It evolves in a kind of calming, cinematic beauty.

Date Palms

Unlike many of its electronically synthesized contemporaries, Mountains blends acoustic instrumentation (guitars, keyboards) with field recordings, subtle electronics and live sampling. What you hear is pastoral drift and pulsating celestial magic.

With its latest, seventh album, “Centralia,” (Thrill Jockey) the group builds on its amalgamation of Brian Eno-influenced ambiance and Steve Reich-esque repetitive modulations. It has added new touches of Indian drone and 20th century classical influence with winning results.

Not a group to simply replicate, it’s in live performances where the duo improvises and develops ideas, fine-tuning the material before committing it to tape.

Plankton Wat

Mountains is joined by like-minded, fellow Thrill Jockey label mates, Date Palms and Plankton Wat ( the third solo project release of Dewey Mahood, formerly of Eternal Tapestry) — both of which have recently released soothing and satisfying albums of opulent psychedelic drone and folky, finger-picked guitar instrumentals. (Think Pink Floyd and Guru Guru mixed with Sandy Bull and John Fahey). The blissed out trifecta are joined by opener, Good Willsmith, tonight, Wednesday, Sept.11 at Union Pool, 484 Union Ave., Brooklyn. Show time is 9 p.m.; admission is $10 per person. This is a 21 and over show.

GET SAVAGE, STRAIGHTEN-UP AND FLY-RITE

Longtime R&B and rockabilly favorite, Barrence Whitfield has reunited with the Savages and they are on the road again,

Whitfield and the Savages came out of the mid-’80s Boston garage scene, quickly becoming one of the most popular retro soul acts around.

Whitfield’s intense croon can build to frenzied screaming and recalls the spirit of greats like Little Richard, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke — all in one.

Along with original Savage Peter Greenberg (The Lyres, DMZ), they released several records on Rounder, They also toured with the likes of Bo Diddley, Tina Turner, and George Thorogood, and won seven Boston Music Awards.

Eventually, the band split up, and Whitfield went on to perform and record as a solo act with various pick-up bands. But the extra sonic punch the Savage provided was notably missed. They re-united in 2011 with the Savages Phil Lenker on bass, Andy Jody on drums, and Tom Quartulli on sax. The band’s latest Bloodshot records release, “Dig Thy Savage Soul” — their first US release in 20 years —is a knockout. And having witnessed a performance in Manhattan in June, this comes highly recommended.

You can catch Whitfield and company, with opening act, The Piggies, and good time rockabilly revivalist headliners, Big Sandy and His Fly-rite Boys, Friday, Sept. 13, at The Bell House, 149 7th St., Brooklyn. Show time is 8:30 p.m.; admission is $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

Scout Niblett's "It's Up To Emma" cover

Also on Friday, for something a bit different, consider the minimalist, punk English chanteuse, Scout Niblett (aka Emma Louise Niblett), who is appearing at St. Vitus, 1120 Manhattan Ave., Brooklyn. Niblett’s music is raw and sparse, with many of her songs consisting merely of vocals accompanied by either drums or guitar, which she largely plays herself.

She’s touring behind her fine new album, “It’s Up To Emma” (out now on Drag City). Joining Niblett will be her compelling avant-punk label mates, Dope Body.

MANIC MONDAY

Grooms

Monday can be a tough night to venture out, but the rare chance to catch surgically-masked Clinic in the intimate and cozy venue, Glasslands, is pretty hard to resist. (The band enjoyed its last sold out appearance there enough to want to do it again.) The Liverpool quartet performance supports 2012’s acclaimed “Free Reign,” and its Daniel Lopatin-mixed, “Free Reign II,” released this past March.

And to make the deal even sweeter, Grooms — whose impressive full-length “Infinity Caller,” was just released — will open the show, Monday Sept. 16 at Glasslands, 289 Kent Ave., Brooklyn.

Doors are open at 8:30 p.m.; admission is $15 in advance and $17 day of show. This is a 21 and over event.
